GERMANIUM ORGANIC

1. What is germanium

Germanium-132 is a unique organic germanium compound, bis-carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide, sometimes called just “germanium sesquioxide”. The high-purity organic complex is safe. Organic germanium is a biological-response modifier. Biological-response modifiers are substances that can enable the body to change its response to tumors, resulting in therapeutic benefits. Germanium does not directly attack cancer cells. Instead, it seems to stimulate the body's immune system, making it potentially effective in the treatment of cancer as well as other degenerative diseases. In 1945, Dr. Kazuhiko Asai formed the Coal Research Institute in Japan. Learning of reports from Russia about germanium's near-miraculous powers of rejuvenation and its use in the treatment of cancer, Dr. Asai decided at this time to investigate its biological properties.

Dr. Asai's original research with organic germanium extracted from natural plant sources convinced him that it could result in remarkable health benefits. However, it soon became apparent that extracting the amounts necessary to treat cancer and other diseases was too costly.Dr. Asai finally succeeded in developing a process for producing an organic germanium, Ge-132, that was chemically identical to the form he had extracted from plants. The chemical name for this organic germanium compound is bis-carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide.

2. Organic Germanium as an Adaptogen

When a chemotherapeutic agent is added directly to cancer cells in a test tube, the cells are destroyed. When organic germanium is added to cancer cells in the same manner, the cells exhibit no change. The germanium appears to be relatively ineffective. But organic germanium indirectly stimulates anticancer defenses. Although organic germanium doesn't cure, it appears to enhance your body's metabolic ability to do so. in the case of cancer,Germanium stimulates your immune defenses to produce those substances which will, in turn, help to destroy the antagonist. Among its functions is its ability to boost the production and/or efficiency of natural killer cells.

3. Germanium boosts the immune system

Essentially, organic Germanium-132 boosts the immune system by activating dormant macrophages to phagocytize (digest) cellular debris and viruses and also motivate other immune cells into action. This organic mineral may also provide some benefit as well for improved neural response and resistance to germs. Many alternative health practitioners and experienced researchers assert all disease results directly from the under-oxygenation of cellular tissue; and Germanium-132 greatly enhances both the presence and absorption of oxygen in the body’s various organs.

4. Organic Germanium As An Oxygen Enhancer

Human cells require absolutely the constant supply of nutrients and oxygen for the sake of repeated metabolism. If they are short of oxygen, some diseases such as chronic carbon monoxide poisoning, anemia, vascular diseases, cardiovascular disorder, hypotension, cell aging or mental disorder develop. Recently, some medical scientists demonstrated that germanium plays a role as an oxygen catalyst helping the efficient application of oxygen. In other words, the contemporary medicine succeeded in establishing the fact that supplying the human body with organic germanium results in recovering from chronic oxygen deficiency because the excess oxygen vitalizes the blood.

5. Organic Germanium as Detoxifier

Another role of organic germanium is that of detoxifier: it helps your body to expel pollutants. Because of the chemical structure of this immune-stimulating oxide, it tends to bind or chelate (grab), and then remove toxic compounds and harmful substances.

6. Germanium as a Supplement

Because germanium occurs in such small quantities in plants, and because its synthesis involves a difficult process, the cost of supplemental organic germanium may appear to be high when compared with some other supplements. Needless to say, you could never get large quantities in food. And like so many other nutrients, germanium is lost when foods are grown in tired soils, or when they are processed or overcooked. Germanium is present, for example in a whole grain, but not in refined flours.

7. Organic Germanium and Immunity

Interferon production is enhanced when organic germanium is used as a supplement in immune-compromised people of all ages. The metabolic pathway involved in the increase of interferon may be its ability to normalize lymphocyte cells, which are important in the production of antibodies.
